Get Closer

Want love?  Get closer
You want love?  Get closer
Hold her hand, be forward
Come on, be a man, get closer

Instead of worrying about those things you said
Follow your heart and forget your head
Maybe some things will jump out your mouth
Make her notice that you're crazy about her

Want love?  Get closer
You want love?  Get closer

You make a fuss when her eyes ain't on you
Well give her something to look forward to
Remember all those other girls who ran
Away from something they didn't understand

You want love?  Get closer
You want love?  Get closer

Why you worrying about those things you said
Follow your heart and forget your head
Oh, slide over on the seat
She'll give you something that's oh so sweet

The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress

written by Jimmy Webb
© 1974 White Oak Songs (ASCAP)

See her as she flies
Golden sails across the sky
Close enough to touch
But careful if you try
Though she looks as warm as gold
The moon's a harsh mistress
The moon can be so cold

Once the sun did shine
And lord it felt so fine
The moon a phantom rose
Through the mountains and the pine
And then the darkness fell
The moon's a harsh mistress
It's hard to love her well

I fell out of her eyes
I fell out of her heart
I fell down on my face, yes I did
And I tripped and I missed my star
And I fell and fell alone
The moon's a harsh mistress
The sky is made of stone

The moon's a harsh mistress
She's hard to call your own

I Knew You When

Yeah yeah ueah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah ye-ah
I knew you when you were lonely
I knew you when you were only
A boy all alone without love
I knew you when

I knew you when
You were sad and all alone
You didn't have anyone
That you could call your own

I knew you when
Your heart belonged to only me
But that was many tears ago
Now your love is just a memory

Yeah yeah yeah ye-ah
I knew you when you were lonely
I knew you when you were only
A boy all alone without love
I knew you when

I knew you when
We used to have a lot of fun
But someone came and offered more
Now I'm the lonely one

I knew you when
I was just a scared little girl
I used to be your only love
Before you came up in the world

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah ye-ah
I knew you when you were lonely
I knew you when you were only
A boy all alone without love

Easy For You To Say

written by Jimmy Webb
© 1982 White Oak Songs (ASCAP)

I heard some talk around this town
Talk about you and me
How a fool fell out of love with you
Wanted to be free

Well that's easy for you to say
That I don't know what I'm doing
That I've thrown our love away
And left my life in ruin
That's easy for you to say

I read your letter again
I'm sure you know the one
"Goodbye," you said like a coward
"It'll be better in the long run"

Well that's easy for you to say
That I don't know what I'm doing
That I've thrown our love away
Left my life in ruin
That's easy for you to say

Go back to her again
Back to the way you were
She's a damn sight better for you
You're a damn sight better for her

Well that's easy for you to say
That I don't know what I'm doing
When you've thrown our love away
Left my life in ruin
That's easy for you to say

People gonna talk about the things you do
They're gonna talk, be it lie or true
Night or day, day or night
They're gonna talk be it wrong or right

People gonna talk about you anyway
They're gonna talk no matter what you say
Night or day, day or night
They're gonna talk be it wrong or right

It seems they've just got to
Yakety yakety yak
Though they know best not to
The minute you turn your back

People gonna talk until they're satisfied
They're gonna talk until they make you cry
Near or far, here right now
They're gonna talk 'cause that's how people are

It seems they've just got to
Yakety yakety yak
Though they know best not to
The moment you turn your back

People gonna talk until they're satisfied
They're gonna talk until they make you cry
Here right now, near or far
They're gonna talk 'cause that's how people are
They're gonna talk 'cause that's how people are

Talk to Me of Mendocino

written by Kate McGarrigle
© 1975 Garden Court Music (ASCAP)

I bid farewell to the state of old New York
My home away from home
In the state of New York I came of age
When first I started roaming
And the trees grow high in New York State
And they shine like gold in the autumn
Never had the blues from whence I came
But in New York State I got 'em

Talk to me of Mendocino
Closing my eyes I hear the sea
Must I wait
Must I follow
Won't you say come with me

And it's on to South Bend, Indiana
Flat out on the western plain
Rise up over the Rockies 
And down on into California
Out to where but the rocks again
And let the sun set on the ocean
I will watch it from the shore
Let the sun rise over the redwoods
I'll rise with it till I rise no more

Talk to me of Mendocino
Closing my eyes I hear the sea
Must I wait
Must I follow
Won't you say come with me

I Think It's Gonna Work Out Fine

Darling, been to see the preacher man
Darling darling, started making wedding plans
Your lips set my soul on fire
To be with you that's my one desire
Oh darling
Think it's gonna work out fine

Darling, started getting next to me
Darling, though about how this could be
Ooee

If your love is half as true
As the love I'm offering you
Oh darling, I think it's gonna work out fine

Think it's gonna work out fine
Know it's gonna work out fine
Think it's gonna work out fine
I'm so glad that you're mine all mine

Do you remember they used to call you Dapper Dan
Way back when I was the killer and everybody's loving man
Whole lotta women used to be my speed
Now pretty baby you're all I need
Oh darling, think it's gonna work out fine

He's so, I'm so, we're so glad when we remember
Used to call me Dapper Dan yeah
Way back when you were the killer and everybody's loving man
Whole lotta women used to be my speed
Now pretty baby you're all I need
Oh darling, think it's gonna work out fine

Think it's gonna work out fine
Know it's gonna work out fine
Think it's gonna work out fine

Think, think, work out fine
Think, think, work out fine
You've got to think, think, work out fine
I think it's gonna work out
Yeah it's gonna work out
Know it's gonna work out fine
 

Mr. Radio

written by Roderick Taylor
© 1976 Rat's God Music (BMI)

Oh what a sunny day
When they carried the radio home
Bringing him in off of the truck
And the dogs wouldn't leave us alone
Mr. Radio
Come down here to keep us company

We listen in a room
Through the miles and miles of night
Deep in the heart of the Bible Belt
In the golden radio light
Mr. Radio
Come down here to keep us company

And it's hard days out in the field
The crows in the high tree top
If the man's away from his home all day
His chickens might fall to the fox
Mr. Radio
What can you do about that uh huh

And you can take me down to a river town
Where the citizens dance till dawn
Dance so close it's a sin almost
The way they carry on
Mr. Radio
I never dreamed you could

And it's miles at the careless touch
Of a tired hand in time
When evening fell I heard a stranger sell
Dreams that were never mine
Mr. Radio
Come down here to keep us company
Come down here to keep us company

Lies

Lies, Lies
I can't believe a word you say
Lies, Lies
Are gonna make you sad some day

Tear, tears
I've shed a million tears for you
Tear, tears
And now you're loving someone new

Someday I'm gonna be happy
But I don't know when just now
Lies, lies
You're breaking my heart

You think that you're such a smart boy
And I'll believe what you say
Who do you think you are boy
To lead me on this way Hey 

Lies, lies
I can't believe a word you say
Lies, lies
Are gonna make you sad some day

Someday I'm gonna be lonely
And you won't find me around
Lies, lies
You're breaking my heart

Someday I'm gonna be happy
But I don't know where or when
Lies, lies
You're breaking my heart

You think that you're such a smart boy
And I'll believe what you say
Who do you think you are boy
To lead me on this way Hey Hey Hey

Lies, lies
I can't believe a word you say
Lies, lies
Are gonna make you sad some day

Someday I'm gonna be lonely
But you won't find me around
Lies, lies
You're breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart

Tell Him

written by Bert Russell
© 1962 Screen Gems-EMI Music Inc (BMI)

I know something about love
You gotta want it bad
If that guy's got into your blood
Go out and get him
If you want him to be
The very part of you
Makes you want to breathe
Here's the thing to do

Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him tell him tell him tell him right now

I know something about love
You gotta show him
And make him see the moon up above
Go out and get him
If you want him to be
Always by your side
If you want him to
Only think of you

Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him tell him tell him tell him right now

Ever since the world began
It's been that way for men
And women were created
To make love their destiny
They why should true love be
So complicated oh 

I know something about love
You've gotta take him
And show him what the world is made of
One kiss could prove it

If you want him to be
Always by your side
Take his hand tonight
Swallow your foolish pride

Tell him that you're never gonna leave him
Tell him that you're always gonna love him
Tell him tell him tell him tell him right now
 

Sometimes You Just Can't Win

written by Smokey Stove
© 1962, 1979 Glad Music Company (BMI)

Just when the sun shines the brightest
And the world looks alright again
Then the clouds fill the skies
You can't believe your eyes
Sometimes you just can't win

Well my love never meant much to you dear
For to you I was always a friend
Oh why did I fall
You have no heart at all
Sometimes you just can't win

No I can't live like this any longer
Not knowing just where I stand
Oh darling you don't care
And sweetheart it don't seem fair
Sometimes you just can't win
Oh sometimes you just can't win

My Blue Tears
vocals by Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, and Linda Ronstadt

written by Dolly Parton

Fly ye away from my window little bluebird
Fly ye as far as you can away from here
Let not your song fall upon my ear
Go spread your blue wings and I'll shed my blue tears

For the one that I have loved
He has left me and gone
And I am in no mood
For to hear your sad song

Bring not your light into my dark room, yellow sunshine
Waste not your warmth on the coldness in here
Oh trouble me not, go ye elsewhere
Go light your blue sky and I'll shed my blue tears

For the only one that I have ever loved has gone away
And I am in no mood for the sunshine today

Go spread your blue wings
Light your blue sky
And I'll shed my blue tears
